Zend IDE 3.0.2 The biggest benefits for me: Code Profiler - find out which parts of your code are running slowly. Debugger - find out why. Both accessible from the IE toolbar plugin (browse to the page/form you want to profile and hit the button). Very nice editor. Powerful search/replace (although no better than Homesites which is what DW uses IIRC). Syntax checker, good Project and CVS support, auto-complete and the very very useful function in-sight feature which will give you pop-up suggestions to finish off your function - i.e. type in "str" and as well as showing you stuff like striptags or str_replace it'll also should you any functions you have that start with "str" (stream_file for example). This is very neat in big projects with loads of functions. Works across classes too. It's quite expensive, but the code profiler has paid for itself several times over already and hey - it's by Zend, so you're kinda supporting PHPs future too in a way. -- Best regards, Richard Davey http://www.phpcommunity.org/wiki/296.html -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
